About GSS

Inspired by Gandhian Vision of Gram Swaraj, Gayatri Seva Sansthan(GSS) is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) established in October 1986 in Udaipur district of Rajasthan. Quite early on in its journey GSS realized that the only way to bring the marginalized tribal communities of difficult and deprived regions to the mainstream was a multi-dimensional development approach for their sustainable overall upliftment.

The quality of life in remote and deprived areas is majorly dependent on the availability of livelihood sources in the area, the effective use of natural resources offered by the earth and the capacity building of Human resource & institutions.

In 38 years of existence, GSS has made interventions in 5 states in India: Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh.

These are three main pillars of Sustainable and Integrated Development. A quality effort in any one of these areas complements growth simultaneously in the other two and triggers a cycle of sustainability. Thus, over the years, the organization has grown into three major verticals for integrated development of the local tribal population: 

1. Human and Institutional Development.
2. Livelihood Enhancement.
3. Natural Resource Management.
